2nd student arrested in JSU data breach

A second student has been arrested in connection to an unauthorized website that provided personal information of Jacksonville State University students and faculty.

University police confirmed the arrest on Monday. The unidentified student is accused of stealing computer data from JSU for the website.

The investigation ongoing. More arrests may be possible, police say.

The unauthorized website came to light last week. It allowed users to access for students' photographs, addresses birth dates, phone numbers, student ID numbers, fraternity and sorority affiliation and other information. It also provided information on some former students, faculty and other staff.

Authorities soon learned the data was stolen internally and not from external hacking.

In a statement JSU officials said that "a peripheral system with limited information was accessed on campus and placed online."
